In addition there are build scripts available to do the hard work of checking 
out, building, and installing KDE, such as kdesvn-build.

kdesvn-build does not at this point include an option to start up the 
installed session so users still have to manually do that, but at the same 
time that's a matter of cutting-and-pasting, users don't even have to 
understand what they're doing beyond that.

This may sound bad in practice but I think the extended testing we get over 
making people have to pass a gauntlet just to install KDE is better for us 
overall.
